Took on this pet as a possible rescue for another family. He was right at a year old when I got him. He is a good dog but needs other pets to play with. Or at least someone who can spend a little more time with him.

Story
Ava is the sweetest senior dog I have ever met. She is 13 going on 5, spunky and lively and loves running in the yard and rolling in the grass. She is timid, but not an ounce of aggression has ever been shown even in stressful situations. She LOVES kitties and currently lives with 7 of them. She does enjoy dogs too but needs a proper introduction before living full time with one. She would prefer a house with carpet because the sound of her nails on hardwood makes her nervous. A fenced in yard is preferred so she can run as she pleases. She walks amazing on a leash and never pulls, does great with nails trims and bath time. She does not play with toys all that much but enjoys a good chew bone to have laying around. She tolerates car rides but drools a bit from being nervous. She is up to date on vaccines and is in perfect health for her age
